IFCC Working Group Recommendations for Assessing Commutability Part 3: Using the Calibration Effectiveness of a Reference Material

A process is described to assess the commutability of a reference material intended for use as a calibrator based on its ability to fulfill its intended use in a calibration traceability scheme to produce equivalent clinical sample results among different measurement procedures for ...

IFCC Working Group Recommendations for assessing commutability part 2: Using the Difference in Bias Between a Reference
Material and Clinical Samples

A process is described to assess the commutability of a reference material intended for use as a calibrator, trueness control or external quality assessment sample based on the difference in bias between a reference material and clinical samples measured using two different measuring...

IFCC Working Group Recommendations for assessing commutability part 1: general experimental design

Commutability is a property of a reference material that relates to the closeness of agreement between results for a reference material and results for clinical samples when measured by two or more measurement procedures. Commutability of reference materials used in a calibration ...

Using the modified quasi-chemical model in the quadruplet approximation, three new thermodynamic assessments of binary systems useful for the detailed operational design of the Molten Salt Reactor are presented: AF-NiF2 (A = Li, Na, K). These systems are particularly relevant for the study o...

Predicted life of P91 steel for cyclic high temperature service

The P91 steel is widely used in high temperature components of power plants, and it is a candidate material for Gen-IV reactors. The P91 steel has relatively attractive mechanical and physical properties combined with resistance to stress corrosion cracking in water–steam environments. ...

Soil erosion modelling: from European to Global scale

Nowadays, soil erosion is known as one of the most critical forms of soil degradation and a major threat to agricultural soil productivity and this may create societal problems in many regions of the world. More than 99% of the world's food supply comes ultimately...
